Book Collection: Cuppa

And the hits just keep on coming.

One of my favourite King stories, UK Proof of Insomnia. Not seen many of these around...

[Cuppa]

Next up an innocuous looking proof. Plain as you like and quite small, but one of my favourites. Very rare (perhaps less than 50) and what looks like photocopied pages annotated by King allegedly. A real treat.

3 states of the Bag of Bones UK proof

The rarest is the plainest...







This state is plain grey and slipcased and pretty rare also...









This 'holographic' state is the most common, but by far the best looking. Currently have 4 copies of this one...

Amazing! Never seen the plain green Bag of Bones before.

[Cuppa]

Hearts in Atlantis UK Proof. This is the very common one which is prone to losing the gold on the lettering. I have 4 copies of this one. There is also a rare light blue state which I am still looking for.

[Cuppa]

Dreamcatcher UK Proof. Have 2 copies of this one

[Cuppa]

Black House UK Partial Proof. Fairly common this one (I have 2) and the cut out on the front is a nice touch...













Also have a promotional postcard...





And a folded A3 size promotional piece with another cutout...

From a Buick 8 UK Proof. This proof has a far nicer cover design than the final first edition DJ. Lucky to have 3 copies.

Amazing stuff !!!

Wolves of the Calla UK Proof, rare sampler and ring bound promo material. Have 5 copies of the proof, 4 of the sampler and one of the promo pack. Love this material and managed to get the samplers /promo pack from someone who worked on the material.
























































The 5 proofs and 4 samplers

Love the Wolves extras!

[Cuppa]

The Song of Susannah UK Proof keeps the same theme. Lovely looking proofs these DT5-7

[Cuppa]

The Dark Tower UK Proof. Not seen many of these about and limited to 100 numbered copies.

[Cuppa]

The Cell UK sampler took a while to find

[Cuppa]

Lisey's Story. My favourite set of proofs and collectibles. I find myself with 7 proofs.

3 slipcased 1/100 (one of which signed by King)
3 of the non-slipcased numbered
1 of the rare unnumbered proof.

I also have the paperweight (2), bookmark (3) and bookplate from a signing event where first edition (3rd printing) were distributed.

I also have the incredibly rare proof DJ (only a handful made) currently wrapped around a first edition and have posted up some comparison photos.





























The Paperweight (boxed)...



Bookplate loosely inserted into a first edition (3rd print)...



The metal bookmark...





The proof DJ wrapped around a first edition for presentation...







Some side by side photos of the proof DJ vs the released DJ...

The proof? Awesome. If you ever need to part with it let me know

Quite remarkable Lisey’s collection. Never seen the prof DJ before. Outstanding!

This proof of Duma Key was very hard to find and the only one I've ever come across.
